I'll be honest, Larry.... I don't really care to post any coins on this forum right now. Sorry. 

I know you're trying. But there isn't much point in trying until the cancer is removed. 

I understand. The cancer must go.

Attempt to polish soft die resulted in severe degradation of detail. same thing happened to quarter and half dollar.

I've waited very patiently all these years for you to refute, definitively, that you are not just a writer, but a collector as well, and this is the casualty with which you choose to make your long-awaited debut?  ;)

The thread title is: "Mercury Dimes. Care to post your favorites?" It doesn't say one must own the coin. on the J-1981 pattern, I could possibly "own" one digit of the date.... :)

Would it be fair to say once this coin has been "minted," though it may still be on the premises, any damage suffered, whether caused by a mint employee or not, is still characterized as post-mint damage?

Most 1916 pattern pieces have wear and or damage from internal experimentation or circulation. Condition should always be mentioned, but might have limited effect on price.
